She should come out clearly now as a candidate, and say no to any fed funding. And, she maybe ought to offer the VP to Obama.
Nope, too early. She needs to spend the time between now and 2010 building alliances with conservative groups trying to push back in the off-year elections against the Rahm-and-Nancy juggernaut.
She'll need allies in fighting the Alinskyite bear-baiting campaign in the media. She needs tag-team buddies, intellectual heavyweights who can work in her corner and dish out a little Triple H and Undertaker punishment to the ankle-biters and Rahm Emanuel.
On election night 2010, I want to see her standing in the open hatch of a Republican tank parked squarely on top of the supine form of Rahm Emanuel.
She's got a lot of teamwork and team-building to do between now and then. She referred to that in her resignation speech.
